Welcome back to this July edition of Shark Bites!

As you may know, this was my birthday week and a huge thanks to everyone that wished me happy birthday.

After 52 years around the sun, I’ve learned a thing or two.

But I will always strive to learn more.

To help you learn a little today, let’s dive into this round of Shark Bites…

Catch 2

Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.

Everyone thinks SEO is purely a technical game. But in reality, there may be something else that is even more important.

That’s according to a Google podcast that showed that many top ranking sites have invalid HTML code.

This is an interesting discussion and you can read it here:

Google: Many Top Sites Have Invalid HTML And Still Rank

Google just rolled out its June 2025 core update. It may take up to 3 weeks to finish rolling out. And in that time you should expect some ranking volatility.

That’s it for now!

Tom Gaddis

Attended the School of Hard Knocks. A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes. Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
